2827.39.90.10 - Of lithium 🖩

This HTS category, 2827.39.90.10, specifically covers **other chlorides, not elsewhere specified, which are comprised of or primarily derived from lithium**. This designation encompasses a range of lithium-containing inorganic chloride compounds that do not fall under more specific classifications within the broader category of "Other chlorides." The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the presence and significance of lithium as a constituent element.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2827.39.90.50 (also "Other"), is crucial for accurate classification. While both fall under the general heading of "Other chlorides," this specific code (2827.39.90.10) mandates that the compound must contain lithium. The sibling category would apply to any "other chloride" that is not of lithium and not otherwise specified, representing a broader residual category for chlorides.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification to this code relies heavily on identifying a chloride compound and confirming that it is not specifically enumerated elsewhere, and that lithium is its primary distinguishing inorganic component. Examples of goods classified here might include certain lithium chloride salts used in industrial processes or specialized chemical applications where their lithium content is the defining characteristic for import or export purposes.
